Cat toys can play an essential part in helping to keep your pet fit. Given the choice most cats would probably consider Garfield as their ideal role model. Just like humans many cats, especially those that spend the majority of time inside can easily become “couch potatoes”.
All cats need some exercise to help them stay healthy and one good way to get your cat to exercise is to provide them with suitable toys to play with.
In the wild, cats are natural hunters and even a domestic cat will chase birds and other moving objects. It is this trait that many cat toys exploit and not only do they provide your cat with an opportunity to exercise but also counteracts boredom.
There is no need to spend a fortune on cat toys as often it is the simple things that give the most pleasure. Items such as a ping pong ball, balls of wool or any small moving object. Any toy that moves when the cat bats or pushes it can work well as can self propelled toys such as moving mice or Da Bird cat toys.
Kittens will naturally play but older cats sometimes need a little encouragement to play with cat toys. However, you should make the effort for the sake of you cats health.

There is a huge selection of cat toys available on the market today. One of the best online suppliers of all pet toys is Pet Planet who has a wide range of toys for all types of pets. Amongst the cat items that I like best are the Catit Design Play Circuit which can keep your cat or kitten amused for hours.
Another toy that is popular is the Go-Cat Play-Gym. The Go-Cat Play-Gym will provide hours of fun for both you and your cat. If you want to give your cat a little more exercise – or a little more adventure – the Go-Cat Play-Gym is the perfect way to help keep your cat fit, not to mention spending some quality time together.

I have to admit that the cat toy my cat prefers is the simple Rosewood Mechanical Mouse Toy. There is nothing more my cat likes than chasing this little creature across the carpet and at £2.49 it represents terrific value.
